I can feel it I know it It's part of me It calls unto me For a while I felt like.... I can ignore it. But it felt like Living without "oxygen" But the more I ignore it The stronger The "urge " Making me "gasp" for air. Now I am "Trapped" Searching For "survival," In the "chaos" Of my thoughts Am "drowning" In the ocean I was warned Never to drink from There is one Thing I know But it's impossible For me to do.

I can feel it I know it It's part of me It calls unto me For a while I felt like.... I can ignore it. But it felt like Living without "oxygen" But the more I ignore it The stronger The "urge " Making me "gasp" for air. Now I am "Trapped" Searching For "survival," In the "chaos" Of my thoughts Am "drowning" In the ocean I was warned Never to drink from There is one Thing I know But it's impossible For me to do.
What calls me is deeper than words
